Just two days after he captured Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year honors, Young was named to the 2007 AFC Pro Bowl roster, replacing injured San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.

"I am very excited about the opportunity," said Young, who has been in Miami all week at a variety of media and marketing functions. "There was some talk that since (Philip) Rivers was hurt that I might get in. I've met a lot of players this week that are going to be playing in the Pro Bowl, and to play with the NFL's top players is going to be a great experience."

Young, a second alternate behind New England's Tom Brady, who also withdrew from the NFL's annual all-star game, will join Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer on the AFC squad Feb. 10 in Honolulu.

"Just to represent the Tennessee Titans, the city of Nashville, my family and all of the great fans is beautiful right now," Young said.

Young was voted the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year after going 8-5 as a starter for the Titans in 2006.

I guess Pennington isnt going. Oh well it would of been cool to see how Chad would of done with some of the leagues best WRs.

Thats is ridiculous!!!! The Pro-Bowl has zero credibility with this. I can think of two other QBs off the top of my head that deserve the nod more than Vince Young. Brady and Pennington. BULLSHIT! I am oputraged, and I'm gonna have to hear about this on all the local talk radio until July. f*** you NFL

Brady did make it over Young, but Brady declined it. Then Young was the runner up to Brady. I think that Pennington, Mcnair, and Losman all should of made it over Young. Young had a 66.7 QB rating, he was good for a rookie, but noway is a all star yet.

Its because the NFL is all on his nuts, f*** that bullshit

Take a look at these stats, Young doesn' t come close to any of these guys in QB rating, completion percentage, TDs, and yards. f*** his ass

Yeah, at least Brady didn't go (despite being deserving), I can't stand those damn Patsies. But I don't think Young shoulda gone in. Yeah, he's a playmaker and the clear difference maker on the Titans, but when it comes to stats, he's way low to Chad or Brady.

I actually think I hate Vince Young more than any other player in the NFL. Rodney Harrison is pretty close though

Young and Bush are being served a raw deal........hope they don't believe they earned it.

Is it really that much of an honour to be a Pro Bowl injury replacement? I would have liked Chad to have gone to Hawaii but I don't care too much about considering he would get little playing time being the 3rd QB over there. Young had a great rookie season but wasn't exactly consistent but he did play a big part in the Titans getting the record they did, however you could argue the same for Chad.

Steve Mcnair deserved to go over Young but thats what happens. Young had an amazing year but still Mcnair had a better one. But please everyone stop crying about Pennington, the Pro Bowl would lose ALL credibility if a guy who threw 17 tds and 16 ints was in it, not cus Vince Young goes. Pennington DIDNT deserve it over Young cus he had a mediocre year with a lot of ups and downs where as young was consistantly great throughout the whole year.

Also Penny wouldnt be able to do much of the competitions durign the week but Vince Young can, Pennington would be a waste of a pro bowl qb.

Only if you think its cool to see the greatest WR'S in the NFL all get seriously injured

All star games just mean less and less as the years go on. I mean freakin Shaquille O'Neal made the NBA all star game after playing in 5 games. Now I don't think Pennington deserves to go to the pro bowl, but he deserves it more than vince young does. A 66.7 QB rating is terrible. No one with less than an 80 QB rating should be allowed to go, and even that's pushing the envelope.

Statistically, no he isn't. I'll take Pennington over Vince Young (the whole calling epople by their initials is really gay. Not a little gay, really gay) any day

ok you can take the 30 year old noodle arm QB who cant throw the ball 30+ yards and threw more interceprtions than VY and i`ll take the 23 year old probowl rookie dual threat QB with a rocket arm that put his team on his back and almost got them to the playoffs.

Unfair thing to call Young beter than Chad. If you want a pure pocket passer, you'll take Chad any day of the week. If you want a guy that can move outside of the pocket, you want Young. Both guys are playing in systems that fit them best, if they were to go outside of their systems they'd probably struggle alot.

actually i think vince young would be good in our system he has a strong so he can spread the feild and he can use his legs to make plays when no one is open.
